0:00.0 | This is TELV1. |
0:10.0 | Street-wise Hebrew. Shalo, it's me guy with Street-wise Hebrew. Shiloh, it's me guy with Streetwise Hebrew. |
0:15.0 | Listener Samuel from Kansas City, |
0:18.0 | Shalom Samuel wrote, I think it would be worth doing an episode focused on how time is generally communicated in |
0:25.0 | colloquial speech. |
0:26.8 | There have to be some abbreviations used in speech I don't know yet, and when a specific time is given is it typically told via standard 24-hour time or using |
0:36.7 | something similar to the way Americans use AM PM. |
0:41.0 | She's a lot of us. I'm well to to Darba. Let's talk about it today. |
0:45.0 | In official publications, website and signs, we used at 24 hour time, so 4 PM is 1,600 1,600 6 PM is 1800 and 8 PM is 20 hundred. This is also how we |

1:27.9 | and then the word sheesh, shin' shin' shin' so Beshish, bet, shin, or B, Macaf, hyphen, and number six. |
1:36.7 | Please look at the show notes where I write out these different variations. |
1:41.4 | In episode number 142, spoke about what's-ap Hebrew and the kind of language we use there, so go back and have a listen. |
1:49.0 | To answer your question, Samuel, since we use the 24 hour time format we don't use |
1:55.2 | AM PM but when you write to friends 7 if it's in the morning you're going to |
2:01.6 | make sure they get it and don't think it's in the morning, you're going to make sure they get it and don't think it's in the evening. |
2:04.8 | So naturally you'll write Shev Abokker. |
